Well worth £10K .

Mine has a different exhaust system to Dave's (previously standard one) too

Maybe it's a PP/S vs not thing.

Maybe, but I can't for the life of me imagine why? My guess is that it was a change made from a particular build date. In the OASIS report mine is code 805 Technical Modifications (05) and I'd guess yours is of similar vintage Peter. What's your one John?

Now that's interesting. What are the differences - other than the fact most of Dave's factory exhaust is in a skip somewhere?

My oil temp changes blue to white at 80 Phil, but on my sheet it's code 804 Technical Modifications (04), so you may be onto something here.

I still have my back boxes That's all though.

I think John's has 4 cats (2 per side) whereas my system just had two in total.

804 so it might just be a PCR (Product Change Request) mod.

Mine has these two small cannisters upstream of the resonator (lack of).

Dave's doesn't have these.

I did read somewhere that the S exhaust was different.

 

[daveenty]

For comparison, this is my original one: -

Note the single cats, and below as it currently is: -

Total absence of cats.

 

[developer]

Total absence of cats and badges.

Fixed that for you Dave .

 

[st13phil]

Total absence of cats and badges and any semblance of silencing.

Fixed a bit more

Just read all the great write-ups, great job phil and a lovely car. I love the black exhaust (now) tips. Are they standard on the black trim option?

 

[st13phil]

Thanks Derek. Yes the black exhaust tips are part of the Night Package.

Great write up Phil, I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts on continued ownership experiences.

 

[donshl]

Wow just seen this post! Congrats on the upgrade Phil! Can't wait to see it in the flesh at a nearby meet soon

Thanks Lee - I'll post up anything I think may be of general interest.

I'm 8,000 miles into mine now and (astonishingly) the rear tyres are all still good with lots of tread left!

This is after many full throttle launches at TV2, 10 laps of Silverstone, 5 laps of Mallory, 5 laps of Oulton Park and a LOT of barrying it away from traffic lights and yellow lines.

Maybe I should try harder!

You and I both, The GT S now has 6months of driving a few events and 9k miles and tyres are all good. I hope to remedy that with three track days in the next two months.

Great thread and write-up.
